am. I decided to go to school today not to learn, but to visit some of my friends, especially Annika and Noxolo. It was Noxo's birthday and I decided to give her a surprise visit . Later, we w

e exact position I needed her to, near the school garden, which would prevent water from spilling on the tiles and instead on the grass. I signalled Annika as she handed the bucket to me while distracting her. Slowly, I crept behind her and poured the entire bucket of water on her. Bewildered by the action, she slowly turned to at me and screamed in excitement on seeing me and in confusion with the water gently dripping from her. I won this year's challenge, Last year she won the competition of who would pour the most water on the celebrant. My birthday

im grow up to become like his father. I hugged her tightly, congratulating her . She was surprised by my sudden gesture but was glad I got the news happily. We spent the rest of the day talking about possible baby names for the child . I almost forgot I had to meet my friends at the cinema and quickly went to get ready. My friends were thrilled to know that I would soon become an older sister and we celebrated Novo's birthday at her house. A guy walked into the sitting room where we were all sitting down on the chairs watching TV. I hadn't seen him before and had no idea who he was. but he might be someone special for Noxo to hug him and leave with him after ensuring us she would be back in a few minutes.

I wanted to push him off, but my emotions didn't let me do that, I guess I liked the feeling. He let go of my lips and stared in my eyes . Something told me he wanted more, but there was no way that would happen. He continued tutoring me, both of us ignoring what had just happened. On our way back, I could hear my stepfather yelling my name and was walking towards us. Zuko held my hands and drew me close to him as we silently approached my stepfather. He yelled,"So this is where you are! You are heard romancing this boy instead of working, right? You refused to even come home to do the dishes . Today I will make sure I deal with you! " . He brought his hand to drag me away from Zuko, but Zuko held me tight, refusing to let go. He threatened to beat up Zuko but he didn't fear. I had to beg Zuko to let me go with him after he threatened to report to mom. I didn't want him to go and tell her lie
